Expire backup images

To expire a backup image means to force the retention period to expire, or information about the backup is deleted. When the retention period expires, NetBackup deletes information about the backup. The files in the backups are unavailable for restores without first re-importing.

To expire a backup image

  1. On the left, click Catalog.
  2. Select the search criteria to find the image you want to duplicate.

  3. Select the image you want to expire and click Expire > Expire.
